RATIONALITY 

Rationality implies the conformity of one's beliefs with one's reasons to believe, and of one's actions with one's reasons for action. "Rationality" has different specialized meanings in philosophy, economics, sociology, psychology, evolutionary biology, game theory and political science.

IS RATIONALITY THE SAME AS REASON 

Rationality is a quality of an individual to think or make decisions sensibly or logically i.e. with a valid reason. Reason is the justification for an action or event. Rationality and reason are different because Rationality originates from reason but reason does not originate from rationality. A person who is rational is always reasonable but a person who is reasonable is not always rational. Though they look like similar terms, they have very different meaning and usages.

 Example; 

1. Teachers value logic and rationality in their teachings. 

2. There are many reasons for his good reputation in school .

AGENTS AND LEVELS OF RATIONALITY 

Rationality may be evaluated with respect to an agent, a collection of agents, or a total environment. An agent, or actor, is an individual that executes act ions in a given context. The attributes of the context may be defined with respect to a single agent, a set of agents, or to the context itself, giving rise to the following levels of rationality: 
I. Subjective rationality; 
The action of an agent A are subjectively rational in a context C to the extent that are evidence available to and the constraints as understood by A are consistent with the achievement of A’s objectives. 

II. Intersubjective rationality; 
The actions of an agent A are intersubjectively rational in a context C to the extent that the evidence available to and the constraints as understood by the collection B of agents in C are consistent with the achievement of A’s objectives . 

III. Objective rationality; 
The actions of an agent A are objectively rational in a context C to the extent that all of the evidence and constraints applying in C are consistent with the achievement of A’s objectives.
